1) Helping everypony that’s ever needed it leaves them with no reason to grow. Stretch that across an entire society and see how long before it stagnates and crumbles.
And what about somepony who’s single suing somepony who hurt them in an accident? Who the [omitted] do you think is gaining from that? You think the pony at fault isn’t having their entire world rocked from the incident? Is the pony who was hurt entitled to nothing for the carelessness of the pony at fault?
The world isn’t black and white. Never has been.
2) Well, thank you! I’m sorry if we never meet, you sound nice!
No I’m not. I’m a monster.
3) Being given the knowledge that you’ve already lost; because then you have nothing left to lose.
4) Find them.
5) I find it painful. Nothing else is relevant.
While the giant is still disabled, you run out into the snow and head for the semi-circular building. You glance back one last time at the giant and sigh. Sorry…
Upon arrival, you find what appears to be 4 or 5 sets of tracks in the snow heading north-east. That electrical thing must have followed them! You race after the tracks, but find they reduce to only a clear 3 after about halfway. That would mean the electric shadow gave up and went back to the semi-circular building. You continue onward, following the tracks toward the building with the high roof.
Puzzle complete!
After reaching the building you find it to be much larger than any of the others. It’s base alone stands taller than the long building to the south of you. The roof only adds even more height.
The 3 tracks lead right up to the doorway, so your friends must be inside.
Answers after the break. There’s a bunch!
1) What have I wrought?
2) They’re both illegal.
If the authorities had been alerted to what they’d done, Sweetie and her friends would be sent to juvee.
Evidently, Twilight is allowed a certain leeway.
3) At the end of the day, it amounts to the same thing.
4) …
Picture somepony you used to know. Now think about how they might live now; replace information you don’t know with what ifs. Who they might have become, the ponies they’d know, the things they’d do. If they had faults you were aware of, how they would have bettered themselves over time. Think about how it’s your fault you’ll never see them again. How no pony will ever see them again…
Now do that at least once a week for the rest of your life. That’s a fraction of what it’s like.
[Sniff]
Or so I’m told.
5) I’ve stolen more than a few things in my day.
Never stole a bird.
6) Only thing I can think of is rotting horn disease, but that’s not really an accurate analog.
7) Don’t just give me a band; give me a piece or two by them you feel adequately represents their style.
But I’ll answer with The Curse Of Jacques by Grave Digger; one of my favorites by my favorite band.

(( -and that’s how Ask Sir Lint-alot was made! ouo ))
Followers, see that number at the bottom of the picture? Do me a solid and make it higher.
1) A few times, yes. I don’t understand it; they look like everypony else’s ears.
2) There is no “What if this” or “What if that.” There’s nothing more to define.
By the way, some philosophies see the very notion of bringing up socially defined “atrocities” as “evil,” seeing as repeated exposure to a concept makes ponies think about and possibly go through with them. Which would make this entire line of questioning “evil” and you by association.
3) Well, it was just- Wait, Linda?
4) It’s really not that big a deal. Thanks, though!
Look at these, Boscov! They look like little smiling mouths!
1) Spike is a sweet boy. I spent a good amount of time with him back in Canterlot. I don’t think I’d have a problem with that, if things eventually played out that way.
2) Discord is the spirit of chaos. Without chaos order would leave a stagnant world that would die off in a matter of centuries. That’s why we ponies have to create chaos in Equestria with things like powerful storms, though we do our best to keep it in line as well. Discord was too extreme to be allowed to roam free, but the notion of chaos by itself is as neutral as any other force.
3) Thank you?
4) Disgusting, but for something to be evil it would have to be inarguable by anyone who isn’t evil, and remain so under any circumstances.
Ignorance destroys the concept of good and evil, because one would have to know what the two are to abide by them.
5) Still not sure what’s going on.
6) Who says I’m not here already?
O~o~o~!
1) [Audible sigh]
It would only be temp-
Yeah… Yeah I’d stay with Boscov.
2) *Ka I-don’t-believe-in-evil*
3) Well, it’s supposed to be subtle and out of the way. I don’t want anypony to feel like they need to send me money. It would be nice, but it’s really just a method for a friend or somepony that really likes my work to help me out.
Sure, though. That would be fine and I’d appreciate it. Although, I’m half expecting you to send something offensive for laughs.
4) Believe it or not, that’s already been addressed.
You draw another arrow, but pause for a moment.
The first arrow you fired did no damage; it just made the shadow angry. Even a shot to the face has only seemed to stun it. What good would firing several more do but waste time?
A violent streak takes hold of you. You wrap the blanket back around you and lower the hood to half cover your eyes. After drawing and stringing another arrow with your mouth, you slowly progress toward the edge of the doorway.
You lift your head until you can see the edge of the shadow’s eyes, then close your own, aim slightly higher, and fire.
The following sound is so incredibly loud and terrifying you fall backwards! Inspecting the situation reveals the giant with its head lowered and one hoof covering its face, stomping with its hindlegs Chances are you probably missed your mark, but you must have hit something!
Quickly now! While it’s recoiling!
1) It would only be temporary, brony. Last a day at most.
2) Funny this should come right after the previous question.
Nothing more I feel like sharing at this moment, just funny.
3) Yep yep.
The hard and fast rule is, as long as you don’t insult somepony else I’ll at least address it. Obviously I’m free to use my own digression, though.
Sometimes I answer a question separately from the larger post, but if you sent a legit question and you don’t see me answer it, something bugged and I never received it.
4) I have a feeling you aren’t being entirely sincere.
Professor Triple Extra-Large? I… don’t get it…
